RESUMEN
High performance organic field effect transistor devices based on intrinsically scalable materials are of great significance in wearable electronics. In this work, an exclusive approach is reported to rationale the carrier mobility and stretchability of the conjugate polymers (CPs) by modifying the symmetry of the side chains species. Semiconductor CPs with symmetrical alkyl side chains (P(C-C)), symmetrical siloxane side chains (P(Si-Si)), and asymmetrical silicon-carbon side chains (P(C-Si)) are synthesized to investigate the influence of these side chains on the carrier mobility and mechanical behavior. The result shows that silicon-carbon asymmetric side chains can modulate the aggregation degree of polymer chains with a coherence length of 134 Å and maintain the mobility at 0.90 cm2 V-1 s-1 . P(C-Si) exhibits superior tensile properties that even elongation up to 100% the value of mobility retains a majority properties. The main reason is that the lowest coherence length of P(C-Si) polymer leads to an increased proportion of amorphous zones in its polymer film, which efficiently dissipates mechanical stresses. This study provides an efficient strategy for the design and synthesis of the CPs with high carrier transport properties-mechanical stability.

Developing nonchlorinated solvent-processed polymeric semiconductors to avoid environmental concerns and health hazards caused by chlorinated solvents is especially urgent. Here, a molecular design strategy, composed of backbone fluorination and side chain optimization, is used for preparing high-solubility and high-performance azaisoindigo-based polymers. The effects of different backbones and side chains on the solubility, film crystallinity, molecular stacking, and charge transport properties are mainly investigated. A long linear hybrid siloxane-based chain (C6-Si7) is chosen to improve the solubility, while the incorporation of fluorine (F) is used to enhance the film crystallinity and charge mobility. By optimizing the backbone and side chain, both solubility and charge mobility of the azaisoindigo-based polymer are significantly improved. As a result, PAIIDBFT-Si films processed with toluene, tetrahydrofuran, ether, and alkanes, achieved charge mobilities of 4.14, 3.78, 2.14, and 2.34 cm2 V-1 s-1, respectively. The current study provides an effective strategy for the design and synthesis of high-performance polymeric semiconductors processed with nonchlorinated solvents.
RESUMEN
We analyze the effects of turbulence on the detection probability spectrum and the mode weight of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) for Whittaker-Gaussian (WG) laser beams in weak non-Kolmogorov turbulence channels. Our numerical results show that WG beam is a better light source for mitigating the effects of turbulence with several adjustable parameters. The real parameters of WG beams γ and W0, which have significant effects on the mode weight, have no influence on the detection probability spectrum. Larger signal OAM quantum number, shorter wavelength, smaller beamwidth and coherence length will lead to the lower detection probability of the signal OAM mode.
RESUMEN
We model the average channel capacity of optical wireless communication systems for cases of weak to strong turbulence channels, using the exponentiation Weibull distribution model. The joint effects of the beam wander and spread, pointing errors, atmospheric attenuation, and the spectral index of non-Kolmogorov turbulence on system performance are included. Our results show that the average capacity decreases steeply as the propagation length L changes from 0 to 200 m and decreases slowly down or tends to a stable value as the propagation length L is greater than 200 m. In the weak turbulence region, by increasing the detection aperture, we can improve the average channel capacity and the atmospheric visibility as an important issue affecting the average channel capacity. In the strong turbulence region, the increase of the radius of the detection aperture cannot reduce the effects of the atmospheric turbulence on the average channel capacity, and the effect of atmospheric visibility on the channel information capacity can be ignored. The effect of the spectral power exponent on the average channel capacity in the strong turbulence region is higher than weak turbulence region. Irrespective of the details determining the turbulent channel, we can say that pointing errors have a significant effect on the average channel capacity of optical wireless communication systems in turbulence channels.
RESUMEN
We develop a novel model of the probability density of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes for Hankel-Bessel beams in paraxial turbulence channel based on the Rytov approximation. The results show that there are multi-peaks of the mode probability density along the radial direction. The peak position of the mode probability density moves to beam center with the increasing of non-Kolmogorov turbulence-parameters and the generalized refractive-index structure parameters and with the decreasing of OAM quantum number, propagation distance and wavelength of the beams. Additionally, larger OAM quantum number and smaller non-Kolmogorov turbulence-parameter can be selected in order to obtain larger mode probability density. The probability density of the OAM mode crosstalk is increasing with the decreasing of the quantum number deviation and the wavelength. Because of the focusing properties of Hankel-Bessel beams in turbulence channel, compared with the Laguerre-Gaussian beams, Hankel-Bessel beams are a good light source for weakening turbulence spreading of the beams and mitigating the effects of turbulence on the probability density of the OAM mode.
RESUMEN
Based on Zernike-model expansion of turbulence phase aberrations and non-Kolmogorov spectrum model of index-of-refraction fluctuation, we analyze the effects of low-order Zernike turbulence aberrations on orbital angular momentum (OAM) entanglement states in a weak fluctuation region. The signal photon detection probability of OAM entanglement states propagating in a slant turbulence channel with non-Kolmogorov turbulence Z-tilt, defocus, astigmatism, and coma aberrations are modeled, respectively. The results demonstrate that turbulence Z-tilt aberration is the dominant aberration, coma is the second, and astigmatism is the third, but that the defocus aberration has no impact on the detection probability. As the power-law exponent of the non-Kolmogorov spectrum increases from 3 to 4, the detection probability decreases.
RESUMEN
Enzymatic hydrolysis of casein to produce free amino acids by papain was performed in a kind of novel two-phase system, which was composed of n-propanol, NaCl and water. The phase diagram of the two-phase system was plotted. In this system, top phase contained more n-propanol and bottom phase contained more NaCl and water. Papain and casein were mainly distributed in bottom phase, and free aromatic amino acids (tyrosine, tryptophan and phenylalanine) produced by enzymatic hydrolysis were mainly in top phase. When the two-phase system consisted of 44% n-propanol, 60g/l NaCl, 0.15g/l papain and 13g/l casein at 55°C and pH 5.6, the transformation yield was 99.5%, which was higher than those of n-propanol/water single phase, aqueous single phase, n-hexane/water two-phase system and PEG/phosphate two-phase system. The novel two-phase system is practically applicable to some enzymatic reaction, if the substrates and products have different partition coefficients.

A method was proposed to release and separate L-asparaginase (EC 3.5.1.1) from Escherichia coli ATCC 11303 cells with aqueous two-phase micellar systems. The systems were composed of K2HPO4 and Triton X-100. The method combines enzyme release with enzyme purification. The influence of Triton X-100 concentration, K2HPO4 concentration, and pH on the release and partition of L-asparaginase was investigated. Experimental results showed that E. coli cells treated with 9.4% (w/v) K2HPO4 and 15% (w/v) Triton X-100 at 25 degrees C for 15-20 h released nearly 80% of the enzyme. Most of the released enzyme was partitioned to the bottom phase (phosphate-rich phase). The effects of Triton X-100 concentration, K2HPO4 concentration, and pH on cloud point were also studied. Electron micrography indicated that the chemical treatment altered the inner structure of E. coli cells significantly.
